Read the docs on how to use it, it would make your extremely confusing loops disappear into something far more readable. Plus all the "getFirstChild" and "getData" disappear too. You might have to learn XPath but it will be a worthwhile time spent. Parsing a DOM without XPath is tedious and error prone. You can easily specify tags and elements with XPath, to get all the info you need from a file. -Wayne -- Software Engineer InterSystems USA, Inc. 303-858-1000 _______________________________________________ Perl-XML mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
